Chapter 508: Flight and Carnival
In the evening, after returning from Baha Beach, the Hua Shao group had a good rest at home.
Zhang Ruoyun prepared dinner for everyone, including cooked pasta and his own meat sauce. I have to say that Zhang Ruoyun is really good at cooking.
Meng Ziyi got what she wanted and made her specialty, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
"Well~ you know what, Sister Meng, this dish you cooked is quite delicious!" This was the affirmation from Chef Zhang Ruoyun.
Others also praised it.
Meng Ziyi held her little face in her hands with a beautiful look.
"What is Sister Meng thinking?"
Gu Wei asked while taking a mouthful of pasta.
"She's beautiful and can cook. I feel like I'm falling in love with myself."
Meng Ziyi was still immersed in his own world, listening to Gu Wei's words without thinking at all.
Gu Wei almost spat out the noodles he had just taken in his mouth, and a group of people burst into laughter at the same time.
Meng Ziyi came back to his senses at this time and blushed.
"Brother Wei, am I too narcissistic? That's not what I meant."
"No, no, Sister Meng, you are right!"
Gu Wei answered while laughing.
"It feels like Sister Meng's mouth is flying in front while her brain is chasing behind, but she is really cute." This is the evaluation of her by Song Zuer, the only member of the team who is younger than Meng Ziyi.
Everyone had a happy dinner and celebrated another happy day in Brazil.
The next morning, Jing Boyan got up early and cooked some boiled eggs, bread and the leftover meat sauce from last night. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Gu Wei is very much looking forward to this morning's itinerary.
The Hua Shao group went out and got in the car, and soon arrived at a hang gliding base on the top of Pedra Bonita in Rio. Several of them were about to experience hang gliding.
After changing into the corresponding clothes, you will see a huge platform with hang gliders lined up in a row. In front of you is a cliff hundreds of meters high. Looking down from above, ordinary people will feel weak in the knees.
"Are you scared?"
Gu Wei asked Nazha beside him.
"No, I'm not afraid!" Nazha said stubbornly.
"When you fly down with the coach, be careful not to touch the triangular area under the hang glider. That is used to control the direction, just like the steering wheel of a car." The Hua Shao group did not fly by themselves when experiencing the hang gliding. Each person was equipped with a special coach. They were fixed to the hang glider and only needed to follow the coach to experience the feeling of flying.
Nazha listened to Gu Wei's words, looked at the flying hang glider, and nodded heavily.
Soon, everyone who was ready started to take off one by one. Zhang Ruoyun, who had previous experience, was the first, and Jing Boyan was the second. In this regard, the boys were definitely braver.
Gu Wei noticed Nazha's fear and took the initiative to line up behind her.
"Come on, Nazar!"
Gu Wei encouraged her, and the other sisters who didn't fly also gave her encouragement.
With a continuous scream, Nazha's glider flew out from the cliff, and Gu Wei followed closely behind.
After a run-up of more than ten meters, he jumped off the cliff and then soared freely in the sky like a bird.
The sky was blue, the morning sun was not too scorching, and the wind in the sky was stronger, but also very cool.
Gu Wei looked down and saw half of Rio de Janeiro in his sight. The endless blue sea in the distance was like a huge sapphire inlaid beside the city.
Gu Wei opened his arms like a bird, as if he really had wings.
The hang glider circled several times in the air, getting lower and lower, and finally landed on São Conrado Beach, which is the unified landing point for hang gliders.
After landing smoothly, Gu Wei unbuttoned the various buttons connecting his body to the hang glider and high-fived Jing Boyan and Zhang Ruoyun who came to meet him.
“So cool!”
"I'll fly again if I have the chance!"
"Hahaha"
It is obvious that several boys like this high-altitude flying sport.
After Gu Wei landed, Meng Ziyi and Song Zuer also landed. Their expressions were pretty good, probably because they were young. Although they were girls, they were not that scared.
It was different for Jiang Shuying, the last one to land. As her hang glider got closer and closer, everyone could clearly hear her continuous and loud shouts.
“Ahhhhhh.”
Finally, we landed on the beach and slid on our knees.
The coach standing next to her tried to help her up several times but failed. It seemed that her legs were really weak.
“Why did I have to land so awkwardly?
How shameful!
Fortunately, after landing, Jiang Shuying recovered very quickly and immediately began to worry about his image.
"Jiang Jiang, if I ask you to do it again, will you still fly?"
Gu Wei teased her.
"No more flying, no more flying." Jiang Shuying took off his equipment and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Hahaha"
After resting for a while, the group found a place under the shade of a nearby tree to have a picnic, and then took a bus to attend the annual Brazilian Carnival.
"I asked Jiang Jiang to get you some money. Don't run around. We'll meet you at the gate after we're done. Don't panic if you encounter any problems. You can ask for help from those around you. Safety first, understand?"
Behind the scenes of the Samba School, Gu Wei was talking to Meng Ziyi.
The six of them boarded the "parade float", and Meng Ziyi watched the show alone in the audience seats full of foreigners. Of course, he had to give the other party good instructions.
The most important thing is that Sister Meng’s English is not good, and she can’t communicate with others when something happens. This is also what Gu Wei is more worried about.
"I understand, Brother Wei, don't worry, I'm very smart!" Meng Ziyi understood what Gu Wei meant, telling her that she could seek help from the program crew if any problems arose.
It quickly got dark and groups of people in all kinds of carnival costumes gathered on the streets. The six members of the "Flowers and Youth" group were among the crowd.
A poet once said: There is no Brazil in the world during the day, but Brazil is the whole world at night.
On this day of national carnival, the members of the "Flowers and Youth" group can increasingly feel the meaning of this sentence.
If Rio de Janeiro is a person, then "Samba" is the soul of this person.
Meng Ziyi followed the crowd into the auditorium of the carnival float tour venue.
“Wow, there are so many people!”
There is a wide avenue in the middle of the venue, which is convenient for the performers and floats to enter the stage.
Fireworks are set off everywhere, planes are flying in the sky spewing out colorful smoke, the tour is about to begin, the venue is bustling with people, and all the audience are in an excited state. This is the Brazilian Carnival!
"It started to rain, luckily Brother Wei asked me to prepare a raincoat in advance"
Meng Ziyi, who was behind the railing of the auditorium, took out the raincoat from her bag and put it on.
To be honest, if she was alone in this completely unfamiliar place, she would definitely be scared, but there were the recording crew of "Flowers and Youth" around her, so she was not alone, so she just had fun!
The carnival officially began, and countless fireworks exploded in the sky, lighting up the night in Rio as bright as day.
As the singing started, dancers on the stage wearing various brightly colored costumes began to dance, and the audience on both sides also began to dance, and the venue was plunged into a frenzied atmosphere.
After several performances, the float parade officially began, and the float carrying the "Flowers and Little Flowers" group slowly drove into the venue.
Gu Wei and several others, wearing brightly colored costumes, stood on the side of a 7-meter-high float, twisting their bodies and performing the samba dance that they had intensively learned in the past two days.
"Brother Wei! Sister Nazha! Sister Jiang Jiang!"
In the stands, Meng Ziyi waved to everyone excitedly when she saw the members of "Flowers and Youth" appear.
Gu Wei also waved at Meng Ziyi. He was the first to notice Sister Meng and then told the others around him.
After about half an hour, the performance of Gu Wei and his team's float ended, and several people got off the float and prepared to change their clothes.
"How are you? Are you tired?" Gu Wei handed Nazha a tissue.
"It's okay, it's just a little hot wearing this dress!" Nazha took off the huge pink hat and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
The few people who got off the float were still immersed in the frenzied atmosphere. Although their faces were covered with sweat, their eyes were very bright and their spirits were very good.
Normal people have a process of getting along with each other from strangers to acquaintances and then to friends. The members of the "Flowers and Youths" group quickly became closer during the trip by living together every day and going through one common task after another.
After the carnival, the relationship between the young people seemed to have taken a step forward, from the hypocritical and enthusiastic strangers to the familiar people who would quarrel with each other at the slightest disagreement.
After this night, the Flower Youth group’s itinerary in Rio has come to an end, and the program team has given them an adventure guide for the next stop.
Next, the seven young people will set off for Manaus to experience the Amazon rainforest scenery for one day and two nights.
Jungles, swamps, crocodiles, piranhas, it seems that Gu Wei is very familiar with this. He experienced a similar environment when filming "Operation Mekong", but there is definitely a huge difference between Southeast Asia and South America.
The balcony on the second floor at night.
Everyone had gone to bed and today's recording task was over. Gu Wei was alone, enjoying the cool breeze, holding a bottle of ice-cold beer, leaning on the railing and looking at the brightly lit city of Rio in the distance.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Naza's voice came from behind.
"I had so much fun today, I'm not very sleepy. Do you want something to eat?"
Gu Wei turned his head to look at her and raised the beer in his hand.
Nazha was wearing a pink pajamas, and her beautiful face looked mysterious and moving under the starlight.
"I want juice~"
Naturally, she wouldn't be polite to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei took a bottle of juice drink from the refrigerator at the bar, opened it and handed it to Nazha.
“Cheers!”
The two of them clinked their glasses together, took a sip, and smiled at each other.
"How do you feel these past few days? Are you feeling unwell or tired?"
Gu Wei turned sideways, leaned against the railing, and asked Nazha.
"No, everything feels great. Everyone else is very friendly. Most importantly, with you by my side, I don't have to worry about anything!"
Nazha looked at Gu Wei with her big eyes, which were full of affection.
"Thank you for agreeing with my willfulness and accompanying me to participate in the show."
"Do we still need to talk about this between us?"
Gu Wei put his arm around Nazha's slender waist and said nonchalantly.
"As long as you are happy."
Under the beautiful night, although the two close young people cannot stay together as usual due to environmental reasons, their hearts are closer than ever.
